Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Max Verstappen’s hilarious cooldown room conversation at F1 Spanish Grand Prix
Verstappen kept Red Bull’s winning str🌸eak alive in Barcelona and strengthened his grip on this year’s champio🍒nship hunt, but was joined on the podium by both Mercedes drivers.
There was no awkwardness between the former rival factions in the post-race arena - in fact, their ꧅meeting 🎃soon turned into hilarity.
Hamil♛ton said to Russell: “Are you getting on it?”
Seemingly misunderstanding, Russell replie♊d: “Well, ൩I am staying an extra night. So why not?”
Hamilton laughed: “No, I said…”
After the amusement died down,ꦉ the conversation turned to the race that had just ended.
Ham෴ilton a♔sked Russell: “Did you just pass everybody?”
Russell replied: “Yeah - I passed Fernando, Carlos, maybe Stroll, 🦋Ocon maybe. I can’t really remember now.”
Verstappen asked: “Did you undercut someone?”
Russell: “No, I passed 🌳most on track. Probably overcut.
